How does religion explain infant deaths?

We read about the deaths of babies and children as a result of wars, diseases, or simply human cruelty. What did they do to recieve such a tragic fate? Is there an explanation for this in any religion?

Baptism removes original sin. Without that happening you can't go to heaven.

Nothing in scripture says that baptism removes sins. Baptism can never bring Salvation. John 3:16 does not say that whosoever is baptized shall be saved. That would be considered a "work" and the Bible is adamant about the fact that we can never work our way to heaven.
